If you want to print color and or want to print on matte paper then the longest lasting inks are with the Epson R800, again maximum print size of 81/2X11. If you do not need long print life (10-20 years is OK) and B&W is not a high priority then the Canon 9900I is a truly fine printer up to A4 If you want really long print life, prints up to A4, with some hassle truly fine B&W and a truly immense range of papers available then the Epson 2200 is the hot ticket. No, I haven't spent money yet but I am tending to the R800 as I believe that the 2200 will be replaced at Photokina with a printer that has both black inks on board so switching to B&W from color will not be a pain. The R800 has both on board so for a year I can probably stay under 8X10.
